President Clinton addressed an audience of approximately 1.000 students, faculty and elected officials yesterday in Irvine Auditorium on the state of the U.S. economy.
He was greeted by Penn President Judith Rodin and Mayor John Street (upper left). Outside, protesters attacked some of Clinton's economic policies (lower left).

He leaped over theater seats.
He edged his way through hordes

And in the end, College junior Cam
Winton got exactly what he wanted: a
chance to ask a question of President Clinton.
"I asked for his advice for any aspiring politician," said Winton, a
member-at-large on the executive
board of the Student Committee on
Undergraduate Education.
"He said that I should work in campaigns, talk to a lot of people who are dif-

I want to run and be able to articulate

advice coming from the man himself."
Like 400 other Penn undergraduates, Winton's brush with the chief

during Clinton's address on "The New
Economy" in Irvine Auditorium.
Kicking off the new Granoff Forum
on International Development and
the Global Economy, Clinton spent
the better part of two hours at Penn,
shaking hands and speaking with the

The Dally Pennsylvanian
Vinay Harpalani assertively asked the
crowd of nearly 200 students assembled on
College Green yesterday afternoon, "Have
things gotten better?"
"No!" they shouted in response.
The Graduate School of Education student
was referring to affirmative action and the
fact that although 170 African-American students were admitted to Penn in 1970, only 152
were admitted in 1999.
Harpalani was one of the chief organizers of
yesterday's rally, which was part of "Call To
Action 2000," a nationwide day of activism in
support of affirmative action.
This was Penn's second year participating in
the rally, co-sponsored by the United Minorities
Council, UMOJA, the Asian-Pacific Student
Coalition, the Greenfield Intercultural Center
and the Undergraduate Assembly.
Discussing issues of racism and affirmative action, 11 students addressed the crowd,
eliciting shouts and applause from the audience. The organizers also collected signatures for a petition in support of affirmative
action at Penn.
"Penn is a plantation of higher learning,
not an institution," said UMOJA Public Relations Chairman Dan Cherry, a College seo
The president — who arrived at
the event slightly late because of a delayed White House departure — was
introduced by speeches from
Philadelphia Mayor John Street, University President Judith Rodin and
1980 College graduate Michael Granoff, who is sponsoring the new lecture series.
But for those in attendance, the
real highlight of the afternoon was
the chance to see the president display his much-celebrated public
speaking skills.
"I thought he was great," College
junior Lauren Sierchio said. "He's so
charismatic and I think he makes
everything sound so exciting and
wonderful."
Student audience members — who
were invited to the event through the
School of Arts and Sciences' International Relations program, the Political Science Department and the
Lander Institute — responded to the
president's speech with overwhelming enthusiasm.
"It was a good speech," College
sophomore Catherine Cho said. "I
thought I wouldn't understand anything because I'm not into politics or
anything, but he laid it out well."
Cho wasn't the only one impressed
with Clinton's ability to communicate
complex economic concepts in understandable terms.
"He laid everything out really fundamentally and made everything
easy to understand," College sophomore Raymond Chin said.

NEA chair defends arts funding at several campus events
By David Alhadeff
The Dailv IViuusvlvaiiian
It has been 10 years since the National Endowment for the Arts and Penn's Institute of
Contemporary Art were at the heart of a
national controversy on public funding for
provocative art exhibits.
Yesterday, the government agency and
the University once again joined forces, as
NEA Chairman Bill Ivey spent the day
fielding provocative questions during a
public interview and chatting intimately
with a select group of undergraduates during a private lunch.
Ivey culminated a day of on-campus
events with an interview and town meeting
at the ICA last night.
Ivey, who succeeded History Professor and
former University President Sheldon Hackney
as head of the NEA, was hosted by both the
Kelly Writers House and the ICA in recognition
of his ongoing efforts to strengthen the role of
the NEA in America's culture and heritage.
The public interview, entitled "Ask what
you can do for the NEA and what the NEA
can do for you: A local conversation about
the future of the national public funding for
the arts,"' was hosted by Tracey Tanenbaum,
the arts producer for WXPN-FM.
The "town meeting," which drew a crowd
of several dozen students and local artists,
was so crowded that audience members
lined the entire back walls of the ICA's lecture room.

the fraternities' primary reason for

"The main reason now is for good

Smith, a Wharton sophomore.
But he also noted that community
service can be very rewarding for the
individual.
"Everyone finds their own little

you don't really need to push them."

Lawrence Sherman, the director of the Fels Center of Government, was the
speaker at a lecture last night in the Ahnenberg Center's Zellerbach Theatre.
Citing research such as the Milwaukee Domestic Violence Arrest
Experiment, Sherman argued for a
system of sanctions founded on
equality, fair procedures, respect by
authorities and the use of moral appeals over threats.
"I've been working on the research for over 10 years. The sometimes contradictory nature of
sanctions puzzled and intrigued me,"
Sherman said during the reception
that followed his lecture. "Sometimes when you have a hammer,
everything looks like a nail."
The reforms that Sherman suggested are designed to soften the conduct of authorities when developing
sanctions for crime prevention.
In the Milwaukee experiment,
Sherman found that the unemployed are more likely to commit a
subsequent assault if they were arrested. Among the employed, however, the situation was reversed
with a higher chance of assault if
there was no arrest.
Sherman also presented evidence
on police activity, education and discipline of children that suggested
that mutual respect is more effective
in preventing crime than overzealous police enforcement.
Both students and adults said
Sherman's lecture presented a
unique approach to minimizing
crime in society.
"The lecture presented a breakthrough concept that needs to be further researched. It was interesting
how disrespectful police lead to more
crime," said Jerry Lee, president of
B101 Radio.
"I thought that Dr. Sherman was
very good. He touched on some of the
same topics in class," said College junior John DeLong, a student in Sherman's "Deviance and Social Control"
class. "I hope he gets the opportunity
to do additional experiments."

or as a result of law suits.
"It's only a matter of time before
this movement hits the Ivy Leagues,"
Harpalani said.
This year marked the first time
that the UA co-sponsored the event.
UA Chairman and College senior
Michael Silver said the group would
continue to do so in the future.
Kwasi Asare, a College junior and
admissions co-chair of the UMC, said
the rally's two main goals were "to
counteract the movement of the Center for Individual Rights, an organization in support of repealing
affirmative action, and to send a mes-
sage to the University that affirmative action is something students
here support."
UMC Chairman Jerome Byam, a
College junior, also spoke of affirmative action "leveling the playing field"
for all people, not just African Americans, but also Hispanics, Asians, homosexuals and women."
APSC Political Chair Jenny Yan, a
Wharton freshman, emphasized the
relevance of affirmative action to
Asian Americans, particularly under-represented groups from Southeast Asia.
But by far, the most heated speeches came from Cherry and College
sophomore Jamarah Leverette.
Leverette spoke of reparations for

Harsh punishment is often the way
that society deals with criminals.
What happens when this type
of punishment blows up in society's face was the subject of yesterday's lecture by Lawrence
Sherman, the director of the Fels
Center of Government.
Sherman, a noted criminologist
who was hired by Penn last summer, delivered the Albert M. Greenfield Memorial Lecture — entitled
"The Defiant Imagination: Consilience and the Science of Sanctions" — before an audience of
about 100 students, professors and
government officials from around
the world.
In his talk, Sherman examined the
question of why punishment sometimes leads to more crime, whereas
non-punitive alternative strategies
often reduce the occurrence of repeated crimes.
The purpose of the lecture, Sherman told the audience, was "to try
to understand why citizens are defiant of authority."
He based his talk on research
conducted by Sociology Professor
Elijah Anderson, who separated societal codes of conduct into a
"street" code and a "decent" code.
Sherman argued that a "street"
sanction — which would include imprisonment, for instance — on a
"street" person can actually produce more crime.
The "decent" code of conduct
comprises such characteristics as
a hopeful outlook, possession of
mainstream values and respect of
authority. The "street" code, conversely, is based on a bitter outlook,
anti-system values and disrespect
for authority.

Clinton talks
on booming
economy
Alumna returns to
Penn as a success
By Vandana Agrawal
CLINTON from page 1
11 if Daily IViiin.yKuin.Mi
Arts and Sciences Dean Samuel Preston said last night.
"People who don't like Clinton say
it's got nothing to do with Clinton. I
think Clinton made a very strong case
for the importance of his fiscal policies," Preston added.
The president's visit attracted approximately 1,000 people to the Penn
campus, including local officials and
Congressmen Joseph Hoeffel, Chaka
Fattah and Robert Brady.
University President Judith Rodin
introduced the president after his arrival to Irvine Auditorium shortly before 4 p.m. yesterday.
"There certainly is no question that
the United States has resumed its
position as the leader of the global
economy," she said.
Philadelphia Mayor John Street
and Penn alumnus Michael Granoff,
who helped fund yesterday's speech
and invited the president to kick off
the new lecture series, also spoke at
the event.
Clinton's trip to Philadelphia required the collaboration of hundreds
of members of the University Police
Department, the Philadelphia Police Department and the U.S. Secret Service to make Irvine
Auditorium — and West Philadelphia — a safe place for the president to speak.
And according to University Police
Deputy Chief of Investigations Tom
King, the joint effort worked.
"The Secret Service obviously are
pros at this and fortunately we have
liaisons with not only the Secret Service but with the Philadelphia Police," he said after Clinton spoke
yesterday. "It's almost a template for
the quintessential job — everything
was well coordinated."

as he addressed the Penn community on "The New Economy," focusing on America's unprecedented economic boom.
Students enjoy brush with the president
REACTION from page 1
"The president has a very powerful presence in the room," College
sophomore Jamie Dufresne added.
"I was impressed with his policy on
economics and how inclusive it was
of technology."
In a year when Penn has been
graced with the presence of such dynamic speakers as former Israeli
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and real estate magnate
Donald Trump, Clinton drew perhaps the widest praise for his delivery and insight.
"[Clinton's speech was] excellent,"
Wharton senior and former SCUE
Chairman Aaron Fidler said. "He's
already proven himself to be a great
speechmaker, but I thought he did an
excellent job here and touched on a
lot of very relevant issues."
"I think regardless of what you
think of the president's views politically, everyone realizes his abilities as
a politician," Senior Class President
and College Republicans Chairwoman Lisa Marshall said. "I thought
it was a good speech. He interjects a
lot of personality into it and he's an intriguing speaker."
And while the large majority of students saw Clinton only from their
Irvine Auditorium seats, several members of Penn College Democrats had
a unique opportunity to experience
the president's visit from a different
angle — the presidential motorcade.
These students — four from Penn
and six from nearby Swarthmore College — served as volunteers for the
presidential visit, driving motorcade
vans, meeting with staff officials and
even getting their own car in the line
of vehicles from the airport.
But while the other vehicles were
labeled with signs indicating "press,"
"security," or other functions, the
College Democrats' automobile was
assigned another title — "straggler."
"We got to see a lot of cool things,"
College sophomore and College Democrats Vice President Christy
Gressman said. "We got to ride in
the motorcade through I 'hilly and
we got to meet the president and
take a picture with him. So it was a
fascinating experience and I think I
learned a lot."

Others were more frustrated.
Rebecca Matthias spent her
undergraduate years at Penn
convinced she would one day be
an architect.
But after a startling realization in, of all places, a women's
clothing store, Matthias found
her true calling.
Today, Matthias is the chief operating officer of Mothers Work
Inc., a $300 million publicly owned
company that manufactures and
sells maternity ware in a variety
of price and style ranges.
A 1975 College graduate,
Matthias addressed more than 25
College students yesterday in Logan Hall as part of the Robert Fox
Lessons in Leadership Program.
Matthias discussed the history
and future of her company as she
guided the audience through a
brief Powerpoint presentation.
She told the students the idea
for her company came to her
while shopping for business maternity clothing.
"If I was having trouble finding
clothes, I figured others probably
were too," Matthias said.
So, in 1982, she and her husband — who serves as the chief
executive officer of the company
— spearheaded the creation of
the Pennsylvania-based specialty clothing corporation.
Speaking of the struggles she
had to endure during the first
10 years of building her business, Matthias named perseverance as the one quality that
kept her going.
The difficulties ranged from
finding enough time for both her
domestic life and her career as
well as learning the simple tricks
of the trade.
"I wish I'd gone to Wharton,"
Matthias joked, as most of the
audience laughed loudly and
School of Arts and Sciences
Dean Samuel Preston raised his
hands in protest.
"Balancing a family and a career is still an impossible task for
women," she said. "You have to
make a choice for yourself, what
do you want out of your life."
Matthias encouraged the audience members to take the leap
into starting their own businesses, calling it "challenging,
to take nothing and make something out of it."
She spoke fondly of her years
at Penn, describing them as "four
years of experimentation" because she participated in a variety of activities — she joined the
women's squash team and played
cello in the Penn Orchestra — in
which she always wanted to get
involved. "I gained a lot of confidence here."
Chuck Brutsche, the associate director of the Lessons in
Leadership series, said Matthias
was an ideal speaker because
"she's made a leadway since
she's graduated."
Several students in the audience, almost all of which was female, said they liked that
Matthias offered applicable reallife advice.
"I liked that she recognized she
had to make sacrifices with her
children, but that she could teach
them as a role model," College
senior Kim Hardy said.
"Her wandering entrepreneur
spirit doesn't just apply to business. It applies to life in general,"
College sophomore Henry
Brigham said. "It illustrates how
low and high you can go and still
laugh at it later."
Last week, Martin Franklin,
chief executive officer of Marlin
Holdings Inc., returned to campus to be the first speaker of the
semester. University President
Judith Rodin is scheduled to
speak in two weeks.
"This series gives students a
perspective of what it's like 20,30
years out of school," Preston said.
" I Matthias is) clearly a wonderful
leader in her field."

M. Track heads into
Heps in full stride
By Jeremy Dubert
The Daily Pennsylvanian
An eight-hour bus ride to New
Hampshire in February might not
sound like a lot of fun.
But the Penn men's track team is
anticipating a more enjoyable return
trip to Philadelphia.
A quest that began on December
11 with an unscored meet at
Princeton is about to culminate as
the Quakers travel to Dartmouth
for the Heptagonal Championships
this weekend.
While several of Penn's top individual performers from throughout
the year will visit Harvard next
week for the IC4As, this two-day
competition in Hanover, N.H., will
conclude the indoor season from a
team perspective.
And this is what the Quakers have
been waiting for all year long.
"We're really excited and really focused right now," sophomore jumper
Tuan Wreh said.
Throughout the indoor track
schedule, the Red and Blue have
concentrated on the matter at hand
in each particular meet, but they
have also always kept a distant eye
on Heps.
Though essential for improving
technique, gaining confidence and
qualifying for IC4As, Penn's previous
six meets have been largely looked
upon as stepping stones leading up to
the athletes' appearance on center
stage at Dartmouth.
The Quakers' solid showing in their
last performance two weeks ago at
Boston University gave them the ideal frame of mind in which to participate at Heps, a meet the Penn indoor
team last won in 1997.
The Quakers look to have the right
approach, as they feel confident about
the weekend, but are certainly far
from flamboyant.
"Everyone's ready to perform really well," senior pole vaulter Bob
Reynolds said. "We've come together
as a team."
In the nine-team field featuring all
the Ivies and Navy, Penn figures to
face its most formidable challenge
from archrival Princeton as well as
from the Midshipmen.
"There's no real frontrunner in the
race," said Reynolds, pointing out
that Penn, Princeton or Navy could
easily place first.
While some of the Quakers participated in a competition at Penn State
last week, much of the squad has had
a two-week respite from the rigors
of the season to rest up and taper
their workouts for Heps.
During the time off, the Quakers
continued an ongoing practice
trend that had the team cutting
back on tiring exercise in favor of
more plyometric work to stimulate
the nerves.
Consequently, the Red and Blue
have shied away from heavy lifting
and instead have spent much of their
training time doing sprints and using
medicine balls, narrowing in on
"quick-firing" activities.
The team's health is also a positive right now.
Penn was fortunate to have nothing more severe than a virus that
spread among the distance corps
early in the season to contend with
during the year.
"We've been blessed this year to
be pretty healthy," Reynolds said.
Injuries and a host of less-thanstellar performances caused the
Quakers to have some trouble last
year at indoor Heps. Penn placed a
disappointing seventh in 1999, finishing behind every team except for
Cornell and Yale.
With the exception of a win in 1997,
Penn has won the championship only
twice in the past 20 seasons.
Coming off a recent string of inspiring results, the Quakers hope that
their luck will soon change at the
league championship.
The eight-hour trip to Hanover
might be a long one, but the Quakers
are ready and primed to make it
worth their while.
W. Track is encouraged by
relay squad's success of late
W. TRACK from page 12
said. "The work and training is pretty much done at this point, and now
we just want to make sure that
everyone stays fresh and that no
one gets injured."
Perhaps the biggest surprise in
this meet for Penn was the breakthrough performance by the team's
relay squad. The team of sophomore
Jeraldine Cofie, junior Melissa MacIntyre, freshman Petra Stewart and
junior Bassey Adjah turned in its
fastest time of the season in the
4x400 meters with a 3:54.29 to finish
second in the meet.
"Our relay teams had just an awesome meet," Tenisci said. "Our Ateam turned in by far their best
performance of the year, and then
our B-team came in almost two seconds faster than our A-team had previously been all season."
One possible explanation for the
team's success at George Mason
is that the Quakers runners are just
now hitting their peak. The reason
for this is that the Penn runners
tend to develop their speed later
on into the season because the
team must practice outside in the
cold weather, which is not conducive to speed workouts.
"I think we turned a big corner
last weekend," Tenisci said. "All the
girls just showed themselves how
talented they really are and what
they are capable of doing."
Another reason for optimism on
Penn's part is the fact that the Quak-
ers really seemed to build team pride
in last Saturday's meet.
"With the smaller number of people, we really bonded and came together," Wittels said. "There was a
great sense of unity in our team."
Although Penn's solid performances at George Mason bode well
for the team's chances at Heps, the
Quakers know they will need contributions from the entire team if they
are to walk away from New Hampshire as champions. Penn's fate
could hinge on how the team's numerous freshmen handle the pressure of such an important meet.
"It has been a roller-coaster ride
for all of our freshmen," Tenisci said.
"But I think that they have finally settled down and are really contributing to our team."
The squad understands the important of being fresh this weekend,
so the coaches are making sure that
everyone is rested up and healthy
come Saturday.
"We are definitely taking it a bit
easier this week," Maclntyre said.
"It is very important for the jumpers'
legs to have pop and for the runners'
legs to feel fast, so we don't want to
overdo it this week."
After months of preparation, the
time for practice and waiting is over.
"This is without a doubt the most
exciting time of the year for us,"
Tenisci said. "The team has worked
hard and kept their focus, so now it
is finally time for us to give our best
effort and compete with pride for
our school."

Sixers sign former
Penn star Bowman
Guard Ira Bowman, who was the
Ivy League Player of the Year as a
senior for the Penn men's basketball team in 1996, signed a 10-day
contract with the Philadelphia
76ers yesterday.
Bowman, 26, has appeared and
started in 40 games this season
for the Connecticut Pride of the
Continental Basketball Association. The 6'5", 195-pound guard
averaged 12.4 points, 5.3 assists
and 3.6 rebounds for the Pride.
He was in training camp with the
Portland Trailblazers and Dallas
Mavericks before the start of the
season before signing with the Pride.
Bowman, a native of Newark,
N.J., was co-captain of the 1996
Penn squad.

Caramanico receives
academic accolades
By now, Penn women's basketball tri-captain Diana Caramanico
is all too accustomed to being honored for her on-court exploits.
Wednesday, however, Caramanico
was heralded for her achievements
away from the hardwood. The Wharton junior was named a District Two
GTE Academic Ail-American.
"You can't get a better award
than that," Penn coach Kelly
Greenberg said. "Noticing her
athletic ability and her work in
the classroom. I mean, that's
what college athletics should be
all about. If they ever do a story
on college athletics, she should
be one of the people in that story."
In the classroom, Caramanico
majors in Management and
boasts a 3.24 grade point average, and the District Two honors
make the Blue Bell, Pa., native
eligible for national GTE Academic All-America status.
Caramanico has been excellent on the hardwood this season, leading the Ivy League and
Big 5 in both scoring and rebounding.
A week ago today, at Cornell,
she became Penn's all-time leading scorer.

Rodin's request that students come to
PennTalks sessions to discuss some
grand institutional vision is misguided.
Rather, the onus falls on her and members of her administration to reach out
to the student body and solicit its views
directly.
Granted, Rodin does meet with a number of student leaders on a regular basis.
But she can also take a lesson from her
immediate predecessor, former President
Sheldon Hackney, who made a point of visiting students where they lived and ate.
That type of informal interaction is best
for taking the pulse of the student body.
If Rodin wants to engage students on
an issue as important—yet esoteric —
as where Penn is going as an institution,
she must approach them personally, not
through intermediaries.
And she must meet the students more
than half-way — on their terms, not hers
— to really find out what is on their
minds.

Last month, Zamfara became
the first Nigerian state to
adopt sharia, or Islamic law.
Two more Nigerian states,
Niger and Sokoto, officially instituted
sharia on Tuesday.
In Zamfara, alcohol consumption

and girls have
been placed in
separate
schools, cinemas
have been closed
and women are
required to cover themselves
from head to toe.

been instituted.
^™"™—■""■^™1 Similar laws are
being enforced in other states.
Despite all of this apparent harshness, it appears as if most Muslims
are very much in favor of government-enforced sharia. Many assert
that it will improve the quality of life.
Women, who often suffer the most
from Islamic fundamentalism, have
garnered at least one considerable gain
— school enrollment for girls is on the
rise because of the separate schools.
In the U.S., freedom of religion has
been maintained by relegating religion to the private sphere, effectively divorcing it from government
But American democracy's separation of church and state may not be
the only plausible paradigm for how
politics and religion should interact.
The new laws in Nigeria, as well as
reform movements in Iran, are in
their own ways attempting to maintain theocracies while avoiding the
oppression that often accompanies
states with religious rule.
Christians in Kaduna, another
northern state in Nigeria, began
protesting on Monday in response to
Muslims who are requesting that
Kaduna adopt sharia. The protests
have led to riots in which more than
100 people have been killed.
The Nigerian situation, however, is
not your classic case of religious coercion and oppression. The theocracies
being established reflect a sort of pluralistic religious extremism —- a postmodern fundamentalism, if you will.
In Zamfara, state officials have informed Christian citizens that sharia
will apply only to Muslims. According
to Niger's governor, Abdulkadir Kure,
"non-Muslims would not be tried for
whatever offense under the law."
Non-Muslims in both states will, theoretically, be free to go on living as
they have until now.
The Christian citizens of Kaduna,
who account for 40 percent of the population, have protested because they
believe that their rights will in fact be
threatened by the implementation of
sharia. Perhaps they are right but,
Ethan Rogers /The Dally Pennsylvanian
theoretically — if the Nigerian states
can handle the proposed double standard — the Christian residents of
Kaduna may have nothing to fear.
The Nigerian states that have instituted sharia are attempting to
conserve a traditional religious way
of life. As long as they stick to their
promise to not bind non-Muslims to
sharia — and as long as most Muslim
citizens want to live under Islamic
law—we should recognize their compromise as an acceptable reconciliation of church and state.
The theocracies being
established reflect a
sort of pluralistic
religious extremism.
Officials in Iran are also hoping to
rework the relationship between religion and government.
In last Friday's elections, voters
heavily supported parliamentary candidates aligned with the reform-minded president, Mohammad Khatami.
Khatami is in favor of several social
and cultural revisions to current Iranian law, which has been in the hands
of religious conservatives since the
revolution of 1979.
Reformers hope to free the press
from clerical censorship, legalize
satellite dishes and encourage public
discourse about religious and social
issues. In addition, a restored dialogue with the U.S. is a possibility for
the first time in 20 years.
However, the reformers are not trying to revolt against Islamic rule. Like
in Nigeria, they too embrace theocracy.
President Khatami — himself a
mid-ranking cleric — and his associates are not interested in abandoning
Islamic law. Rather, they intend to
try and align traditional religious order with democratic principles.
This may seem paradoxical to us,
but perhaps it doesn't have to be.
Government restrictions which attempt to maintain culture and tradition
are not unique to the Third World In
Quebec, for example, numerous laws
regulate the use of language. There
is a law that determines who can send
their children to English-speaking
schools, as well as a law requiring that
large businesses be run in French.
And in Israel, the Bible is taught in
the public schools and public buses
do not operate in Jerusalem on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.
In Iran, power still remains in the
hands of the supreme religious
leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He
has ultimate control over the judicial
system, the police, the army and
everything having to do with security and foreign policy.
Will the reform-minded parliament
be able to enact change in this environment?
And can Nigeria, a country with a
history of ethnic conflict, manage a
stable government that supports
such a nuanced double standard?
Only time will tell.
In the mean time, we should encourage both countries to continue
developing creative ways to reconcile their religious ideals with the affairs of state.

Woman executed in Texas
62-year-old Betty Lou
Beets was convicted of
murdering her husband.
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A 62 -yearold woman was executed by injection
yesterday after Gov. George W. Bush
rejected her claim that she killed her
fifth husband in self-defense and deserved a reprieve.
Betty Lou Beets became the fourth
woman to be executed in the United

executed in Ttexas since the Civil War.

Death penalty opponents and domestic violence organizations had
urged Bush to grant Beets a 30-day
delay, arguing it would be consistent
with his description of himself as a
"compassionate conservative" in his
presidential campaign. The delay was
Bush's only option, since the state
parole board did not recommend that
her sentence be commuted to life in

Senate approves Iran
sanctions legislation
WASHINGTON — Following
suit with the House, the Senate
yesterday voted unanimously to
step up efforts to stop Russia and
other countries from supplying
Iran with weapons of mass destruction.
Supporters said the bill was
necessary despite the ascendance of reformers in the Tehran
government.
The 98-0 Senate vote followed a
419-0 House vote last September
on a slightly different version. The
House is expected to adopt the
Senate bill and send it to the president.
The White House threatened
to veto the House bill, saying it
complicated international non-
proliferation efforts, but congressional sources said the administration was satisfied with
changes in the Senate bill giving
the president more flexibility in
imposing sanctions.
The legislation, unlike a previous bill that President Clinton
did veto in 1998, does not require
the president to impose sanctions against Russia and others
that supply missiles or weapons
to Iran.
It directs the president to submit reports to Congress every six
months identifying foreign persons or countries that transfer
weapons material or technology
to Iran and authorizes him to impose sanctions if he so chooses.

mers said he was disappointed with
the WTO ruling and insisted that Foreign Sales Corporations are "widely
viewed as creating a level playing
field with European tax systems and
are important to our business community."
"We will work closely with the Europeans, the business community
and the Congress to achieve a constructive solution," Summers said.
President Clinton, meanwhile, told
an audience of business executives
today that while "nobody agrees with
the WTO all the time" it is important
not to let adverse decision undermine support for the international
trade body.
The Foreign Sales Corporation program enables U.S. makers of com-
puter software, chemicals, machinery
and many other products to shield
some export income from taxes. The
tax breaks for companies such as Microsoft, Boeing and General Motors
would be worth more than $15 billion
over the next five years, according
to congressional estimates.
The European Union puts the fiveyear price tag at $17.5 billion; the administration estimates $7 billion.
The EU trade commissioner, Pascal Lamy, welcomed the ruling. "The
FSC system and its predecessor have
had a major negative effect on international trade to the detriment of European companies," he said in a
statement from Brussels.

the WTO decision would be tricky,
costly and time-consuming. Also, opponents might seize the opportunity
in an election year to attack the program as corporate welfare.
The program was created in 1984
to offset tax rebates European companies get when they sell products
outside the EU. It permits U.S. companies to avoid certain income taxes
by setting up export subsidiaries on
offshore tax havens such as the U.S.
Virgin Islands, Barbados and Guam.
The companies that enjoy this tax
break fear the WTO decision could
lead to another trade war with the
Europeans or require a major rewrite
of the U.S. tax code that would reduce the benefits they receive.
Sinn Fein: all parties in N. Ireland conflict must disarm
WASHINGTON — Sinn Fein
deputy leader Martin McGuinness
said yesterday any successful disarmament in Northern Ireland must
include all parties to the conflict, including militant Protestants who, he
contended, have 150,000 weapons at
their disposal.
McGuinness expressed irritation
at a news conference that the Irish
Republican Army is often cited as
the cause of recent setbacks to the
peace process because it had not begun turning in its weapons.
He said the 1998 Good Friday
peace accord, which establishes the
basis for peace in the province, asserts that it is the "collective responsibility" of all participants to
work cooperatively to achieve de-
commissioning, or disarmament.
"People think that the only guns
that are causing problems are the
guns of the IRA," he said.
"We in Sinn Fein also have concerns about guns," he said, referring
to the weapons held by the outlawed
pro-British loyalist paramilitaries and
by the British troops deployed in the
province.
McGuinness served as education
secretary of the power-sharing Northern Ireland Cabinet that was suspended by the British government
Feb. 12.
The IRA's unwillingness to move
on the disarmament issue led Britain
to withdraw powers from the fourparty coalition, which had been
formed in December under terms of
the accord. The coalition took shape
after the major Protestant party, the
Ulster Unionists, agreed to work
alongside the IRA-linked Sinn Fein
party in expectation that IRA disarmament would begin in response.
Britain is supposed to publish a
plan for withdrawing troops and closing army bases under terms of the
peace accord. It has yet to do so, although it has already withdrawn
about 3,000 troops and closed several major bases.
McGuinness, who serves as deputy
to Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, is
in Washington to rally support from
the White House and Irish-American
leaders. Also here are David Trimble, head of the Ulster Unionist Party, and Peter Mandelson, the British
secretary of state for Northern Ireland.
"People think that the
only guns that are
causing problems are
the guns of the IRA."
Martin McGuinness
Sinn Fein Deputy leader
McGuinness said suspension of
the local government has left him
alarmed about the future prospects
for the peace process. In his appearance, he used such phrases as
"deep crisis," "dire straits, and
"huge gulf of mistrust" to describe
the situation.
Sinn Fein, he said, is "absolutely
committed to making the peace
process work," and he cast doubt
about the willingness of the Ulster
Unionists to meet Sinn Fein halfway.
As an example, he said, "Trimble
has never been prepared to shake
hands with Gerry Adams."
He also said Mandelson bears
much of the responsibility for the setbacks though his decision to suspend
the local government despite what
McGuinness called Sinn Fein's "new
and significant proposal."
"What the British have done is totally and absolutely illegal," McGuinness asserted.
U.S. Senate looks into day trading
New revelation in Sheppard case Investigators
have discovered
CLEVELAND — A woman who once
worked with Richard Eberling testified that
he had confessed to killing Marilyn Sheppard and hitting her husband on the head
with a bucket.
Eberling, the man Sam Reese Sheppard
believes killed his mother in 1954, made the
confession 29 years later during a late-night
conversation, Kathie Collins Dyal testified
Wednesday.
Sheppard is suing the state of Ohio claiming his late father, Sam Sheppard, was
wrongfully imprisoned for the beating death
of his wife in the couple's home.
The highly publicized case partly inspired
The Fugitive television series and movie.
Dyal said Eberling confessed when she
was a home health care worker for an elderly widow, Ethel May Durkin. Eberling
hired Dyal for the job and later fired her
from it.
He later was convicted of killing Durkin,
and died in prison while serving a life sentence for that slaying. Eberling never told
authorities that he killed Marilyn Sheppard.
Sam Sheppard, convicted of murder, spent
a decade in prison before the U.S. Supreme
Court overturned the verdict. He was acquitted at retrial in 1966 and died four years
later.
Sheppard had maintained that a bushyhaired intruder killed his wife and knocked
him unconscious when he heard her cries
and ran to help her.
A series of events in honor of
MARIAN ANDERSON
questionable business practices.
WASHINGTON — Day-trading firms take
on customers who shouldn't be trading and improperly raid customers' accounts to make
loans to other investors to keep them trading, Senate investigators have found.
Also yesterday, the National Association of
Securities Dealers, a self-policing brokers'
group, announced that it had disciplined eight
day-trading firms or individuals running them
for alleged misuse of customer funds, improper loans and misleading advertising.
The day-trading industry has defended its
practices, maintaining that most day traders
can make money after six months or so.
Last July, exasperated trader Mark Barton
went on a shooting spree at the Atlanta offices of All-Tech Direct and Momentum Securities, killing nine people and himself. The
shooting brought intense scrutiny to the business, in which investors make bets on the tiniest ups and downs of the stock markets,
squeezing profits by rapidly buying and selling
shares electronically.
Subcommittee investigators reported numerous irregularities.
In one example, investigators said Momentum used a trader customer's account to
lend nearly $10 million to 52 other customers
in a single month. The loans often exceeded
$100,000.
Critics say the firms arrange the loans to
keep customers trading so they can continue
collecting commissions, whether they make or
lose money.

W. Swimming's Anders
sets new record in 50 free
W. SWIMMING from page 12
Anders' 2450 sixth-place finish was
good enough for a spot in the 50 free
finals — the Quakers' first finals appearance since 1997 in any individual
event — and a new school record.
Her time broke the previous 10-year
old record of 24.22. Anders finished
eighth in the 50 free finals with a time
of 24.53, good for 11 points.
Holland's 2:07.97 in the 200 IM
bonus heat broke the school record of
2:09, set in 1984. Prior to yesterday, it
was the Penn women's swimming
team's longest-standing record.
And even though Holland's phenomenal performance was overshadowed by the other swimmers in
the 200 IM — she finished 17th, garnering no points — Schnur is thrilled
with the team's performance.
"It's great. It's the best first day
[of the Ivy championships] weVe ever
had," Schnur said. "We have a lot
more points than we had at this point
last year, or any years, even the last
five or six. If [Anders] wasn't in finals, we wouldn't be in sixth place."
By far the most eye-popping performance of the day came from Columbia senior and probable 2000 U.S.
Olympian Christina Teuscher, who
swam the 200 IM in an unbelievable
1:58.87 — a time which gave her the
victory over Brown senior Stephanie
Hughes by a little over three seconds.
Teuscher, whom Schnur once referred
to as the "Michael Jordan of the Ivy
League," missed breaking the Ivy
Championships 200 IM record —
which she set last year — by a little
over a second.
Columbia's lack of depth beyond
Teuscher — the Lions had only four
other swimmers win points in individual events—continues to keep Columbia from the upper echelons of the
tournament. The Lions are only 45
points ahead of the Quakers.
But it would take a near-miracle
for Penn to overtake Columbia, considering the 189-109 shellacking the
Quakers took at the hands of the Lions December 10 — not to mention
the fact that Columbia has Teuscher,
giving it a near-automatic first-place
finish each time she swims. Thus, being able to look down at Cornell or
Dartmouth — or both — come tomorrow night would seem to be a
more realistic goal.
But Penn was beaten soundly on
the diving board yesterday and must
overcome those points lost to have
any chance of not finishing last Penn
does have in its favor its swimming
strength, and with no diving events
scheduled for today, the Quakers
hope to open up some distance between them and.their pursuers.
Schnur thinks that Holland and
freshman Margaret Jones will score
points today in the 400 IM, and he
hopes the same of sophomore Devin
McGlynn and freshman Katy Sanderson in the 200 IM. Schnur is also
heartened by the fact that the Quakers are in sixth place without yet
putting in the pool one of their best
young swimmers, freshman Kate Patrizzi, who will swim today in the 100
butterfly and the 100 breaststroke.
"We've finished last eight years in
a row, and to get out of that basement would be great," Schnur said.
M. Squash hopes to
go out on high note

MkhMl WalMnwn/The Daily Pennsylvanian
Geoff Owens, dunking here, was 8-for-9 on far more challenging foul shots when
Harvard visited the Palestra earlier this season. Penn visits the Crimson tomorrow.
Second, the Crimson have won
five straight home finales, including
an overtime win over Princeton in
'98-'99 and an upset over Penn the
previous year.
"I think we lost to them at their
place my freshman year," Owens
said. "It's their home, and Penn is
coming to town, so we're going to expect a hell of a game from them."
Dartmouth coach Dave Eaucher
recognized that his team could beat
Penn tonight, but knows that it will
take a top performance from his
sixth-place squad.
"We're expecting Penn to play well,
and they usually do," Eaucher said.
"They're leading the league in both
offensive and defensive field goal percentage, so that's a double-edged
sword that we have reason to be concerned about. We have to be at our
best — our very best."
According to Eaucher, Dartmouth's best usually comes in transition. The ninth-year coach said
that his guards, Greg Buth and
Flinder Boyd, will have to push the
pace if they hope to compete with
Penn. Buth is second on the team in
scoring with 16.9 points per game,
while Boyd's 8.6 points per contest
is good for third. Boyd also leads
the Big Green in assists at seven
per contest.
Penn has won its last five meetings with Dartmouth, including a
75-61 victory on February 12, but
Eaucher said that loss was actually
a turning point for his team. Despite falling to the Quakers, Dartmouth's strong second-half play was
enough to please Eaucher. Buth
scored 18 against Penn that night.
"I'm proud of my guys," Eaucher
said. "We played a good second half
against Penn, and we've carried it
through the last four games. There's
a lot of fighting in the Big Green."
Dartmouth, like the Crimson,
swept Yale and Brown last weekend
to double its league wins and up its
overall record to 8-15.
But the Quakers learned their lesson in the last game versus Dartmouth and will be ready for its
second-half antics tonight.
"Last time toward the end we let
them back in the game a little bit, so
I think we're just going to try to go
out there and knock them out real
quick — get it over with — and then
stay tough," Penn forward Frank
Brown said.
Most likely, Dartmouth's squad also
learned a lesson on February 12 — to
beware of Michael Jordan. The senior
guard scored 24 points on an 8 for 12
shooting performance that night
Of course, the Big Green probably
did not need first-hand experience to
make this discovery. Jordan is
Penn's leading scorer at 15.9 points
per game, and the tri-captain also
leads the team in assists with 4.9
per game.
"IBoydJ is going to roll up his
sleeves and defend [JordanI," Faucher said. "He's short, but he's really
quick We could try to play a bigger
person on him, but Langel is 6'5" and
Brown is 6'8", so then we would have
a problem defending them."
Dunphy understood Faucher's
predicament.
"There's no question that Mike
is our leader and he's been our leading scorer and really has carried us
a lot, but we need to be a good basketball team. Matt Langel can step
up and hopefully make some
shots... and now that Frank has
started to play well and make some
shots on the perimeter, he gives us
another weapon."
Brown was certainly a weapon in
the Quakers' last game against Harvard. He scored a season-high 15
points on 6-of-9 shooting and connected on all three of his attempts
from beyond the arc.
"Everything feels good now and
I've been starting on a consistent basis," Brown said. "I was hoping that
my senior year would be like this."
Since Brown entered the starting
lineup on January 28, the Quakers
are a perfect 10-0. The senior is shooting 51.3 percent from the field and
averaging 6.6 points.
"He got hurt on December 29, and
it really took him a good six weeks to
really get himself back together,"
Dunphy said. "But when given another opportunity, he's made the
most of it."

season between the Ivy rivals, the
Elis edged the Quakers by slim
margins.
"I want to focus on my team's execution, but to say there's no rivalry
would be a lie," Kovic said. "I'm not
interested in beating a particular
team, however, we're going to beat
them all."
The battle for first place promises
to be highly competitive, perhaps
even more so than in recent years
due to the strength of the current
rosters of the four Ivy programs with
gymnastics teams — Penn, Yale,
Cornell and Brown.
In addition to falling twice to the
Elis, Penn lost a dual meet to Cornell
by less than half of a point and beat
the Bears by almost three points earlier this season.
"The teams are definitely evenly
matched. All four teams have a
chance. There are no clear favorites,"
Nadler said.
The Quakers, however, will be the
only team in the match to have faced
each of the other Ivy foes in dual
matches, which provides them with
another advantage. No matter how
much a team might work on its skills,
there's no substitute for head-to-head
experience.
"We've seen everybody. I think that
that's important because then we know
[going into the Classic] what all the
other teams have to offer," Kovic said
Despite the possible loss of Penn
junior Kelly Haberer to what Kovic
called a "fairly severe foot ligament
sprain," the Quakers are not worried
about Saturday.
"We have the depth to win. It's
about consistency under pressure,"
Penn captain Lizzie Jacobson said.
The Quakers are looking to come
home as the unprecedented four-time
champions, and nothing else seems
acceptable.
"The focus is on us coming together and performing well. [We
have] no excuses. We're going to
win," Penn senior Joci Newman said
The Quakers hope that history
will repeat itself tomorrow — as it
has for the past three years — and
that the championship trophy will
be back at Penn.
W. BASKETBALL from page 12
tigue or what."
The Quakers definitely need to hope
for a change in their Saturday luck
with Harvard coming to the Palestra
tomorrow for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
Although almost a polar opposite of
Dartmouth in terms of tempo — preferring a slow, deliberate offensive,
rather than a fast-paced game —
Harvard (7-2,14-7) will still be a challenging opponent for Penn.
Like Dartmouth, Harvard has a wellbalanced attack anchored by senior
forward Laela Sturdy's 13.5 points per
game and sophomore guard Jen Monti's league-leading 6.3 assist average.
Unlike the Big Green, though, the
Crimson have a lot of size — 10 of
the 15 players on Harvard's roster
measure at six feet or above — and
will try to use their height to out-rebound the Quakers, slowing down
Penn's transition offense.
"One of the most dangerous things
about Penn's game is definitely their
transition," Sturdy said.
In light of the problems Penn has
faced playing partially fatigued on
Saturdays, some of the Quakers will
actually welcome this Harvard strategy of slow, half-court basketball.
"I think it's going to be better to
play [Harvard] second, rather than
having Dartmouth running up and
down the floor on Saturday," West said
Plus, with Ivy-leading rebounder
Caramanico in the paint (12.0 rebounds per game) and supported by
6'3" Jessica Allen and 6'0" Julie Epton, the Quakers are confident that
they will pull down plenty of boards of
their own against the Crimson.
Every team involved knows the importance this weekend bears on the
highly contested Ivy League title race.
"Friday night's game is the biggest
game," Greenberg said. "But ironically, if we win Friday night's game,
then Saturday immediately becomes
the biggest game ever."
It has been a long season since the
Penn men's squash team beat Brown
5-4 on December 5.
And in many respects, it will be a
different Quakers team stepping onto
the court this morning in New Haven,
Conn., to face the Bears in the first
round of the Team Championships
at Yale.
Since December, Penn has endured the loss of its No. 1 player, had
another of the team's top players
sidelined by injuries and been forced
to juggle the lineup on a weekly basis.
Penn will have only five of the original nine players from the lineup that
faced Brown. A string of losses
against top competitors accompanied this string of bad fortune, as the
Quakers managed only two wins after
the Brown match.
The one thing that has remained
constant for the Quakers this season, however, is their positive attitude. An underdog in most of its
matches, Penn has managed to play
stride for stride with many of the
same teams that they will face this
weekend.
Penn was finally able to cash in on
its hard work last week when it finished dual-match play with a convincing 8-1 home win over Haverford.
The Quakers took all eight wins in
the minimum three games. The win
may give Penn the momentum it
needs to knock off Brown, ranked
No. 10 nationally, for a second time.
The Team Championships in New
Haven will feature the top 36 squash
teams in the country. The Potter Division will feature the top eight teams,
including No. 1 Trinity and Ivy
League champion Princeton.
The Quakers carry a season record
of 3-9, enough to earn them the No. 15
ranking in the nation. They are bracketed in the Hoehn Division of the
playoffs and will compete with the
ninth through 16th ranked teams in
the country.
Depending on Friday's results, the
Quakers will match up Saturday
against either the winner or the loser of the Colby and Navy match. Cornell, ranked at No. 9, is the top seeded
team in Penn's bracket.
Penn looks to gain revenge this
weekend for close losses suffered
during the season. Three teams in
the Hoehn division — Cornell, Navy
and Franklin and Marshall —
snatched 5-4 victories from the Quakers. This prospect has been enough
to light a fire under the Red and Blue.
"This weekend is an opportunity for
revenge — we want blood," Penn junior Will Ruthrauff said. "We are a
stronger team in a lot of ways than we
were at the beginning of the season."
This weekend, the Quakers will be
forced to rely on the lower portion of
their order, as they have for most of
the season. No. 3 Mukund Khaitan,
who managed a 3-0 win over Haverford's Ari Wassauer after sitting out
the Harvard and Dartmouth matches, will again be forced out of action
due to nagging ankle injuries. This
will cause the lower portion of the order to move up one spot each.
"We have been unstable in our
lineup," Penn coach Craig ThorpeClark said. "It may have detracted
from our competing, but hopefully
we'll go on to get the wins we deserve."
The key for Penn, which for most of
the season has relied on the middle
and bottom of its order, will be adjusting to the new positioning in the
lineup against Brown.
"The bottom of the order is
stronger than the last time we played
Brown," Penn junior Ritesh Tilani
said. "If we get past Brown, we feel
confident that we can match up well
with the other teams."
Penn will be relying on middle order players like Tilani and Ruthrauff
to carry them past Brown. Both have
been consistent forces this season,
and Tilani was the only member of
the Quakers to win games against
Harvard and Princeton.
Penn's ultimate goal, however, will
be to make the best showing they can
in their final team matches of this
somewhat disappointing season.
"We beat Brown early in the season, and we've suffered some setbacks since then," said senior Bill
Bryan, the team's self-proclaimed
"Rudy," who will play at No. 9 this
weekend. "I'd love to go out on top in
my last match and represent the Red
and Blue well."

STANDINGS
Strawberry may be suspended for year
TAMPA, Fla. - The New York
Yankees know a year-long suspension might end Darryl Strawberry's
career. They also realize a lesser
penalty could send the wrong message to youngsters who view star
athletes as role models.
The Yankees debated the pros and
cons yesterday while awaiting word
of what action commissioner Bud
Selig will take in the wake of Strawberry's positive cocaine test.
A high-ranking Yankees official
said Selig's decision is not expected
before Monday.
Strawberry, an eight-time AU-Star,
has twice been suspended for drugs,
and there have been strong signs
that he will be penalized for the season. There also have been reports
that baseball might include a provision to shorten the ban if Strawberry stays clean.
"It's not an easy situation when
you've had multiple infractions and a
long history," pitcher David Cone
said.
And while none of the Yankees
want to see Strawberry's career end
— he turns 38 next month — no one
can be sure what penalty would be in
the designated hitter's best interest.
■MM
Darryl Strawberry, right, may be suspended for the 2000 season as a
result of his positive cocaine test in January.
"What's best for him as a person? I don't know. More intensive
care, obviously, to begin with,"
Cone said.
"But I'm reluctant to link his
baseball career with staying clean.
One's a life issue, one's a career
issue. For me, the life issue is more
important. If you're going to piggyback the career onto this life issue, and how it affects him, to me
would be a mistake. Regardless of
what happens, he's got to get his
life in order."
Strawberry failed a drug test January 19, violating terms of his probation from a no-contest plea to
charges of cocaine possession and
soliciting a prostitute in Tampa last
spring. A judge approved the Florida
Department of Corrections' recommendation for enhanced supervision
and treatment.
"He's trying. I believe that," Yankees manager Joe Torre said.
"If you don't know somebody I
think you're quick to judge and say
there's no excuse for this, no excuse for that. But when you know
somebody who seems to be fighting this thing, I think you become a
little more patient with situations.
But again, he still has to be accountable for what he's done.
There's no question."
Owner George Steinbrenner has
been supportive, too, calling Strawberry's problem with drugs a medical condition that "we're going to
have to keep working to find a cure
for." He said Selig will study the
facts of the case and consult with
medical experts before making a
decision.
Flutie still upset at Phillips Michigan frosh banned
TORONTO — Doug Flutie is
sure there would have been no Music City Miracle if he had started
the Buffalo Bills' AFC wild-card
playoff game against the Tennessee Titans.
Flutie remains bitter about the circumstances surrounding his demotion in favor of Rob Johnson in the
Januray 8 game, and the quarterback let his feelings be known in an
interview with a Canadian television
network.
"I honestly believe that if I would
have been playing, we could have,
would have, won," Flutie said in an
interview to be aired tomorrow night
on TSN.
"It probably was the most frustrating, most miserable week I've
ever spent in football. It was hard to
understand and difficult to deal with."
The Titans won 22-16 in the final
seconds on a trick play on a kickoff
return.
Flutie said that in meetings with
NFL players since the season ended,
response has been "unanimous that
I got shafted."
"I sort of shook my head and
chuckled," Flutie said of his reaction
when Bills coach Wade Phillips told
him five days before the game that
Johnson would be starting.
New umpires union certified
NEW YORK — Richie Phillips and
the Major League Umpires Association strudc out m their final legal appeal
yesterday, clearing the way for the new
union to start negotiations with owners.
The National Labor Relations
Board certified the results of a November election that kicked out the
MLUA and replaced it with a new
union, to be called the World Umpires Association.
"I have no comment. It wasn't my
appeal," Phillips claimed, even
though his union filed it.
The new union intends to take a less
confrontational approach than Phillips,
whose failed resignation strategy last
summer cost 22 umpires their jobs.
"We're looking forward to moving
ahead with baseball and starting a
new relationship, and trying to get all
umpires to come together," said AI.
umpire John Hirschbeck, a leader of
the new union.
About 50 of the 71 major league
umpires have joined the new union,
according to its lawyer, Joel Smith.
The new union will meet Sunday in
Phoenix to elect officers and a negotiating committee.
215-898-1111
ANN ARBOR, Mich— Michigan
freshman Jamal Crawford, who had
just finished a six-game NCAA suspension, was suspended for eight
more games yesterday.
The first suspension was for Crawford's living arrangements while a
high school player in Seattle. The
eight-game ban came down after it
was discovered Crawford had tried to
make himself eligible for the NBA
draft while still in high school and
after having signed a letter of intent
to play for Michigan.
"Today's ruling had nothing to do
with the prior investigation, from the
original ruling of sue games," Assistant Sports Information Director
Tom Wywrot said about an hour before Michigan's 7 p.m. game with
Purdue at Crisler Arena. That game
was to have marked Crawford's return from the six-game suspension.
The NCAA originally declared
Crawford in violation of a rule that
prohibits high school players from
declaring themselves eligible for
professional sports leagues' drafts.
Crawford signed and sent a letter
to the NBA last May, seeking to declare himself eligible for the June
1999 draft.
In that letter, which wasn't accepted by the NBA because it arrived too late to place his name on
the draft list, Crawford expressed
the mistaken impression that he
wouldn't lose his college eligibility.
Crawford sent another letter six
days later in which he withdrew from
the draft, the NBA said.
NCAA rules provide a one-time exception for college players who put
their name on the NBA draft list to
retain their eligibility if they aren't
drafted. There is no such exception
for high school players.
Venora Skinner told the Seattle
Times that her son plans to turn professional after this season.
"Jamal is going to enter his name
in the draft," she said.
It was not immediately clear
whether she was speaking for Crawford. Even if he were reinstated it
would be hard for him to return to
Michigan for his sophomore year,
she said.
"The only way is if all this pressure stops," Skinner said. "I'm not
going through another year of this.
I'm serious."
Crawford's letter to the NBA came
to light while the university was investigating details of the first suspension. Michigan reported its
concern to the NCAA.
The ruling body of college sports
had said early yesterday that Crawford's college career was finished.

MONTREAL — Benoit Brunet
scored a power-play goal 58 seconds
into overtime to give Montreal a 3-2
victory over New Jersey last night,
extending the Canadiens' seasonhigh winning streak to seven games.
Brunet batted the puck out of the
air past goalie Martin Brodeur on
Montreal's third shot of overtime. The
goal was reviewed to see if the Canadiens forward made contact with the
puck above the level of the crossbar.
The Canadiens, 13-4-2 since January 11, moved within two points of

M. Hoops on upset watch
at Big Green and Crimson
The Quakers look to hold on to first
place in the Ivy League with two wins
on their New England road swing.
By Kate Goldhaber
The Daily IVnn.sylvanian
Stefan Mlttchav/The Daily Pennsytvanian
Michael Jordan left, scored 24 points last year at Harvard's Lavietes Pavilion and a game-high 20 this year at the Palestra
to help Penn bury the Crimson. The Quakers visit Harvard tomorrow night after a tilt at Dartmouth this evening.
After dispatching Cornell and Columbia at the
Palestra last weekend, the Penn men's basketball team
stands in a very exciting position with March Madness approaching.
If the Quakers can tack on another 11 wins to their current 11-game winning streak — which dates to January
25 — they can bring home the national title. Penn has
just six regular season contests left, and a 5-0 run
through the NCAA Tournament would take them
straight to the top.
"I can't say that I've pictured in my mind winning the
next 11 games and being national champions," Penn
coach Fran Dunphy said.
OK, so back to reality.
Before they can even imagine cutting down the nets in
Indianapolis, the Quakers must first clinch the Ivy League
title with four more victories. Their first chance is this
weekend at Dartmouth and Harvard.
"I think we realized after the Temple game — that
was a tough loss — that if we won our next 16 games we
were going to be in the tournament and we were going to
be happy," Penn center Geoff Owens said.
While neither the Big Green nor the Crimson can share
Penn's postseason aspirations, an upset for either Dartmouth or Harvard would significantly help its Ivy standing. At this point, just one game separates the thirdthrough seventh-place teams.
Harvard (10-13,5-5 Ivy League), which is in third place,
just ahead of the Big Green (8-15,4-6), has two streaks going. Penn has reason to be wary of both.
For starters, the Crimson swept Brown and Yale last
weekend. Junior forward Dan Clemente lead with 22
points against the Bears and 19 the following night. Despite scoring just three points in Harvard's 79-52 loss at
the Palestra just weeks ago, Clemente has racked up a
19.1 points per game average for the season. This figure
would place him first among Ivy scoring leaders, but he
is ineligible for the honor since he missed 11 games while
recovering from eye surgery.

Crucial weekend for

By Kyle Bahr
The Daily Pennsylvania!!
Still in the thick of the Ivy League title
hunt after two grueling weeks on the road,
the Penn women's basketball team returns home this weekend lo battte teUow
Ivy frontrunners Dartmouth and Harvard in what could be the most important pair of games ever for the Quakers.
With just three games remaining on
the schedule after tonight's and tomorrow
night's games, the Red and Blue <16-7
overall, 7-2 Ivy League) will need to
avenge their loss at Dartmouth two weeks
ago and continue their winning ways
against Harvard if they hope for their
first-ever Ancient Eight banner — and
its accompanying NCAA Tournament
berth, which would also be a first for Penn.
"I really think this is probably the
biggest weekend in the program's history," Penn coach Kelly Greenberg said.
"I think this is a true test of seeing what
we're really made of as a team."
The first test of Penn's mettle, starting
at 7 p.m. tonight at the Palestra, will
come fast and physical to the Red and
Blue courtesy of league-leading Dartmouth (16-6,8-1) and its speedy-but-balanced attack.
This attack is led by senior guard Courtney Banghart, the Ivy League Player of
the Week and the Big Green's leading
scorer, who averages 16 points per game.
Banghart's average — built on her
trademark consistency behind the threepoint line — ranks her third in Ivy League
scoring, lagging only behind the Quakers'
leading duo of Diana Caramanico (24.7
ppg) and Mandy West (18.6 ppg).
Problematic for the Penn defense,
though, is the fact that Banghart is not
the only offensive threat Dartmouth
brings to the hardwood.
Two other Big Green starters also average in the double-digits, including
freshman forward Katherine Hanks.
Along with her 14.9 points per game —
good for fifth in the Ivy League — Hanks also leads her team with a 7.1 rebounding average and 35 blocks.
And in addition to the youthful Hanks,
the defending Ivy League champions return seven veterans from Vast season who
give Dartmouth the experience to remain
composed in a big game like tonight's.
"Everyone contributes, and we have
some depth and some experience in our
positions," Dartmouth coach Chris Wielgus said. "It's certainly not the Courtney Banghart show."
And besides individual players, Penn
will have to deal with Dartmouth's various speeds of play. Although the Big
Green usually like to exploit their own
quickness by running a fast-paced offense, they also have the skill to slow
things down at will.
"The thing about Dartmouth is they can
play halfcourt, and they can run," Greenberg said. "They can do both well, so we
have to be ready for both kinds of games.
"It's all going to come down to who's
going to make the big plays and which
team is consistently tougher throughout the entire game."
An uneasy trend arose for Penn during
its recent two-week Ivy League road swing.
After emerging victorious in both of their
Friday games, the Quakers came back to
lose the next night — the first week to
Dartmouth, then to Columbia. The pair of
second-day road losses has elicited concern from Penn coaches and players.
"I'm not sure if it's because of travel,"
Greenberg said. "I feel like the team
feels prepared, so I don't know if it's faSee W. BASKETBALL, page 9

Mandy West has led Penn in scoring in each of the last three games. She will be called upon
once again for a big night tonight and tomorrow night against Dartmouth and Harvard.
Penn's seniors are looking to round
out their careers with the Quakers
with Ivy Classic perfection.

r
The past four months have been extremely encouraging for the Penn women's swimming team.
Under interim coach Mike Schnur, the Quakers finished the regular season at .500 overall, and
were able to notch victories over Cornell and
Dartmouth after failing to win a single Ivy League
meet in the past seven years.
Now, Penn has a chance to put a cherry on top
of their season's hot-fudge sundae as it competes
at the Ivy League Championships at Harvard this
weekend. The meet commenced yesterday morning and will continue until tomorrow evening.
Yesterday, preliminaries and finals were held
for six events—the 200-yard freestyle relay, the 500
free, the 200 individual medley, the 50 free, the
one-meter diving event and the 400 medley relay.
The preliminaries and finals will be held for the remaining 14 events today and tomorrow.
After me first day of swimming, Princeton leads
the meet with a score of 256 points, while defending
champion Brown holds second place with 214 points.
The Quakers slept soundly last night with the knowledge that they had tallied 61 points yesterday, a
score good enough to keep them ahead of the Big
Red and the Big Green — the two Ivy teams they
beat this season — and in sixth place. Cornell trails
Penn by a scant five points, while Dartmouth is
mired in last with 46. Harvard, Yale and Columbia
round out the field, occupying the third, fourth and
fifth spots, respectively.
Penn, which finished dead last at the 1999 Ivy
championships, received encouraging performances from freshman Jessie Anders in the 50
free prelims and junior captain Cathy Holland in
the 200 individual medley bonus consolation heat.

Gymnastics looks for fourth

W. Track to reach
indoor season's
climax at Heps
After two months of almost weekly competition, the
women's indoor track season for Penn will hit its climax
this weekend in Hanover, N.H.
At the Heptagonal Championships at Dartmouth, the
Quakers will be facing all seven Ivy League rivals as well
as Navy in the most important meet of the indoor season
for Penn. The Quakers hope to come away with their first
Heps indoor championship since 1996.
"We live for Heps," Penn assistant coach Tony Tenisci
said. "This is the meet that we have waited for all season,
so everyone is excited and ready to do what we love."
Heps couldn't be coming at a better time for this Red
and Blue squad. Penn is coming off a phenomenal meet
at George Mason that saw a smaller-than usual squad turn
in some outstanding performances.
An obvious highlight of the meet for Penn was sophomore Liz Wittels breaking the school record in the pole
vault for the third time in less than a month.
"I am happy because I am staying pretty consistent,
but I would like to be going a little bit higher," Wittels

Lauren Hittner has set Penn records for the past three weeks. A
fourth could help Penn to its fourth straight Ivy Classic win.
i
As far as the 1990s go, the Penn Quakers could
quite easily be called the Chicago Bulls of Ivy League
gymnastics. Penn has won six Ivy Classic championships and accounts for five individual all-around
meet champions.
Unlike the Bulls, however, the Quakers have no intention of ending their dynastic hold on first place tomorrow at Cornell.
In addition to heading into the meet with a solidly
consistent and deep team, the Red and Blue will
have one decided edge over the competition — the
only gymnasts who have experienced victory at the
Classic will all be Quakers.
"When we get to the meet on Saturday, there will only
be fourteen people who know what it feels like to win a
championship, and they're all on our team," Penn senior Kirby Thorpe said.
The Quakers will be striving to break more records
in what has already been a memorable season, with new
records seemingly tied or broken at every meet. At
this Ivy Classic, the team will be defending its unprecedented three consecutive championships, and
the seniors want to finish up in record-breaking style.
"This is it. For us, it's our last Ivy Classic, so we
want to leave on top," Penn senior Becky Nadler said.
The veterans of the team want to give the freshmen,
as well as sophomore transfer Lauren Hittner, a taste
of the winning Quakers tradition.
"I'm looking forward to this meet for them because
